My essay is : In countries like Greece and Rome you can find out that most great stories like Romeo and Juliet are based on greek myths. Greek myths are like the father of great stories(my opinion). I know this because when I here alot of good stories, I flip through my head looking for a greek myth that matches the story. One time I read the book Romeo and Juliet. I liked the story very much but got shocked when Romeo and Juliet commited suicide at a cliff. That ending rung a bell in my head. Hmmmm... Where had I heard a similar story before? Thats when i remembered the greek story about Eros(minor god of love f.y.i.) and Psyche(princess of a royal family, related to the goddes aphrodite). And if you hear a story similar to a story you already heard or read, one of them is probably based on another great story.
You can learn about greek myths at alot of places, like a library,in the internet , a story teller or, the best of all options, you can go to greece. Ancient greece was one of the first countries to worship idols(I bet heaven does`nt like idols), and also one of the countries who made epic greek myths. there alot of stories about the gods, and their affairs, or the story might not be about the gods at all! so here is a list of the olympian gods and the Titans :
Zeus
Hera
Ares
Athena
Hermes
Hephaestus
Apollo
Artemis
Poseidon
Dionysus
Aphrodite(had alot of affairs)
Demeter
Helios(not a olympian god)
Hercules(minor god of heroes, not really a full god himself)
Pan(not the one you use in the kitchen)
and these are the Titans(not from the cartoon show Teen Titans)
Cronus
Atlas
Prometheus
Oceonus
Hyperion
Gaia
Typhon
Thera
and last but not least, Epimetheus
There, all the gods and titans, you may wonder why Hades(god of the underworld) is`nt in the list, if you want to know, go see the library or a story teller in Greece! There are more but I cant list all of them here, or can I?
